Margaret Lockwood. What could I first say about this actress? I love her so much, I honestly don’t know where to start. I’ve waited for this moment for so long. Oh sure, I could have written about my love and admiration for her before, but isn’t there a much perfect occasion than her centennial? Sadly, Margaret […]
Yes, The 2nd Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon will be back this year (why not? She’s a favourite after all!) So, if didn’t have the chance to participate last year, make sure not to miss this second edition of the blogathon! For the occasion, we’ll be honouring Grace Kelly on what would have been her 87th birthday. The […]
On August 29, 2016 (in two days), Ingrid Bergman, the best actress in movie history, would have been 101 years old. Sadly, this date also marks her death anniversary. But, for both reasons, I’ve decided to honour her by hosting The 2nd Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon. To host is a big entertainment, but the real fun always […]
To accompany her Alfred Hitchcock blogathon (which ended yesterday), Eva from Coffee, Classics and Craziness created this little questionnaire to know better our Hitchcockian tastes! Here are my answers to it. It’s always fun to discuss anything about Hitchcock! I have to say that it’s 2:15 am now, but I can’t go to bed because […]
Today, except from the fact that I was working at 10:30 and really was about to slap someone in the face, today is really one of my most favourite days of the year? Why, because we celebrate what would have been Alfred Hitchcock’s birthday. For the occasion, of course, we ought to watch some of his […]
Joseph Cotten with an “E”. Today, that man (and highly underrated actor) would have been 111 years old. As he is a favourite of mine, it’s my duty to honour him on this day. Joseph Cotten, born on May 15th, 1905, started his acting career on Broadway, but this one really started when he became […]
“I’m a personality as well as an actress. Show me an actress who isn’t a personality, and you’ll show me a woman who isn’t a star.” – Katharine Hepburn- Katharine Hepburn. The only thing that is not unique about her is this last name “Hepburn”. As for the rest, the lady was, and will always […]
One of the best cinematic discoveries I made through this blog is a wonderful actor (with the most irresistible smile ever) named William Holden. Last year, I did a marathon and watched a ton of his films. I have now seen 22 of his films! I can’t believe that, a few years ago, I didn’t […]
Frank Sinatra, who was one of the most acclaimed crooners of music history, would have been 100 on December 12, 2015. The man wasn’t only a great singer, but also a talented actor. One of his most acclaimed performances was the one in From Here to Eternity for which he won an Oscar for Best […]
“Grace Kelly fell in love very easily; too easily.” – Lizanne Kelly- It’s a known fact that Grace Kelly, who was one of the most beautiful ladies ever, had many lovers during her life as an actress. One of them was the actor William Holden. But hey, I’m not here to accuse her (I’m too […]
It’s here! It’s FINALLY here! Today and tomorrow, we’ll celebrate Grace Kelly’s 86th birthday with my second blogathon: The Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon. I simply can’t wait to read your entries, I’m sure it’s all excellent! Grace Kelly was a wonderful actress and one of the most beautiful ladies in the world. I hope you’ll […]
On November 5, 2015, Vivien Leigh, my 8th most favourite actress would have celebrated her 102nd birthday. Even if she left us at the young age of 53, that’s not a reason why my friend Joey from Wolffian Classic Movies Digest wouldn’t honour her with a blogathon! Vivien Leigh is also known for having been […]
Murder on the Orient Express is probably known as one of the best on-screen adaptations of an Agatha Christie novel. It also has the particularity to be composed of an all-star cast, all wonderful actors, all unique in their own genre: Albert Finney as the notorious detective Hercule Poirot, Martin Balsam, Vanessa Redgrave, Sean Connery, […]
Ingrid Bergman. What is the first word that comes to your mind when you think of this name? For some, it’s “beauty”, for some it’s “talent”, for some, it’s “Casablanca”. For me, it’s all this, and more… As I wrote in my letter to Isabella Rossellini (yes, I’ve sent her a letter very recently. I […]
Today is a great day. You know why? Because Olivia de Havilland, one of my favourite actresses, is celebrating her 99th birthday! How wonderful is that! 😀 Olivia de Havilland is one of the last legends of classic Hollywood to still be alive and it’s an honour for us to celebrate her. I frankly don’t […]
I’m so glad to participate in The Barrymore Trilogy Blogathon, the very first blogathon hosted by Crystal from In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood! The event will take place from August 12 to August 15, 2015, for the occasion of Ethel Barrymore’s birthday. The Barrymore was a notorious family of actors and stage actors: […]
Today, on June 22, 2015, Billy Wilder would have been 109 years old! He was one of the most talented movie directors and movie writers of the 20th century or, may I say, of all times! I never saw a Billy Wilder’s film that I didn’t like. Some Like it Hot is my favourite movie […]

Billy Wilder. What an incredible director but also a marvelous movie writer. After Alfred Hitchcock, he is my second favourite movie director. Some Like it Hot is my favourite film and Sunset Boulevard’s screenplay is my favourite one. Well, on June 22, 2015, I’ll be happy to participate in the Billy Wilder Blogathon hosted by […]
